Following controversy surrounding sexual assault allegations aimed at collaborator\u00a0A$AP Bari<\/strong>, Nike<\/strong> has cut ties with the Harlem fashion designer.<\/p>\n Snkrs Day received the following statement from a Nike source regarding the current status of their relationship with Bari: “We can confirm we are no longer working together.”<\/em><\/p>\n Earlier this month, an extremely problematic and disturbing video surfaced with Bari and a young woman, quickly going viral and prompting questions Bari would soon need to address. He responded via a social media post where he seemed remorseful for his actions. The fallout from the video was more than enough for Nike to end their short-lived partnership with the A$AP Mob member.<\/p>\n Nike began working with Bari and his label, VLONE<\/strong>, in 2016. His first Nike collaboration<\/a> released last fall at Complex Con, a premium Air Force 1 Low<\/a> then dropped again in January at New York Fashion Week. It was reported that more VLONE\u00a0collaborative releases were in the works, including a Nike Vandal<\/a> collection recently revealed during Paris Fashion Week<\/a>.<\/p>\n It’s safe to assume that any forthcoming VLONE x Nike releases will be scrapped with the termination of their partnership. Stay tuned to Snkrs Day for more on this developing story.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Following controversy surrounding sexual assault allegations aimed at collaborator\u00a0A$AP Bari, Nike has cut ties with the Harlem fashion designer.
